Rookie tight end Zach Sudfeld, who didnt play in the fourth quart… (more)er, may not be able to play Thursday night against the Jets after pulling a hamstring Sunday, according to a league source. According to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, Sudfeld suffered a hamstring injury Sunday at Buffalo. With Sudfeld limping and Rob Gronkowski still returning from offseason back surgery, the Patriots currently have just one healthy tight end: Michael Hoomanawanui, who is best used as a blocking tight end. It would seem unlikely the Patriots would go into Thursday’s game against the Jets with just one tight end, and the Pats do not have a tight end on the practice squad. Also, running back Shane Vereen, who led the Patriots with 159 total yards and made several crucial plays to help seal the win, will be out several weeks with a broken bone in his wrist, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.
